Klezmer music with its driving rhythmic pulse, soulful melodies and non-diatonic scale expressed the "blues" of the Jewish culture by encapsulating the challenges of life and the vigor to live it at its best. Itzhak Perlman recorded this popular melody as featured in his PBS television special "Live In the Fiddler's House." Lebedike Honga, meaning "A Lively Dance," offers earthy rhythmic grooves and its infectious spirit will buoy your students, put a smile on the audience's face, and may even inspire a few brave souls to dance in the aisles.
